When I built it, I was a pretty big fan of CP one piece 685 barrels. I had a few gloss black ones and used them on everything. I never bothered to match a barrel to the gun, I guess I didn't really care enough to bother.

my local stores does a ton of business with cci, and often they anno swirl pattern barrels for them.
after i got the purple highlander in a trade, i was in the store and found that ultralite sitting there. they wouldnt sell me just the tip, but when i used my ti back and the tip, you couldnt see the difference at all in the colors.

edit: i pm'd you gunhero to ask you about the highlander, but you never responded. i sold it locally, and that guy sold it on ebay. i had asked if you picked it up there.

it was many months ago when you first posted pics of your entire collection. no biggy... think i even told you about the ul in that pm.... wizardry told me that highlander was worth $650, and not a penny more.

Wizardry's insane. ...There's been a few offers that smash that amount.

I still have the white pearl looking grip panels as well.

There are a growing number of people that will pay nicely for a nice style AKA marker again, which is clearly evident of the last few truly rare AKA pieces that have sold. I agree with you, something's only worth what someone's willing to pay for it. But If we all know there are other collectors out there that would, in fact, pay a very respectable amount of money for a gun because they know that's what it takes to own a truly rare marker, then why would anyone settle for less? (if they're educated about the current market)

Also, don't get too scrunched over my remark about your insanity. It was a joke as expressed with a
